Part # 40343N3200. FWIW, although they look the same at first glance there are actually two variants - on one type, the various angled faces have rounded edges, whereas the other type is moulded with sharp edges.

KatoKid is correct - there should be two springs - one for each branch of the handbrake cable. They keep the cables up out of the way of the rotating half-shaft assemblies.

Can you not re-sleeve & re-kit the one you have?

There was a similar situation recently on the Australian Mustang club forum, regarding regulator rollers - one of the two diameters required for an early Mustang door window regulator isn't for some bizarre reason currently available. Problem was solved when the person found the roller size he needed at Bunnings, who stock a range of rollers for sliding doors, windows, Ranchsliders etc. 'Rolltrack' was the brand he quoted. I don't know if the one he found was metal or nylon, but wouldn't hurt to measure the other side's regulator roller & take a look in Bunnings. You might need to fabricate an axle based on the other side regulator as a pattern.

But is a 240-style linkage set actually going to fit with your new carbs? It's a series of ball joints set at 90 degree angles with the end section sized to slot in between the pair 240Z carbs.??

All one sees is the pair of lights flashing in the instrument binnacle, there's no separate indication light like with the rear window demister.

For what year? AFAIK there were at least two versions. Can you not fix what you've got?

That'll be the one. It's a light blue tint, but pretty obvious once you put it alongside a regular piece of, say, house window glass.

No, a PO has gone to a lot of trouble to refurbish the interior at some time in the car's history. And changed the colour in the process, maybe finding the white/cream too hard to maintain. Are all the interior panels with the car? The panel at the rear of the roof, & the RH rear deck panel, are missing in the photos. As Groundhog pointed out, there should be circular plastic caps covering the bolts on top of the rear struts, not strips of vinyl.

Whatever set you find, just check it will actually fit your car. Door trims, & the panels either side of the rear deck - there were changes made by Nissan.

Ditto what Groundhog says, looks to be in good order. If you go after that set then just check that the door trim panel 'holes' look to be in the same positions as for your car - the 2-seater door trims changed at least once across the years, maybe the 2+2 did as well.

Ditto Cozza, are those two photos of it in a previous life as a track car? Interesting rear light.

TBH & with the best will in the world DIY back-flushing of a radiator can only achieve so much. I agree go with a fresh re-core plus a new pressure cap, & flush the motor itself out as best you can including the heater circuitry. Worked for my Zed way back when, & both Mustangs.

That's 'have lunch' several weeks down the track.....

Timing not suited to low grade fuel? Swap to 96 & see...

That single chrome wing mirror he's also got, looks the same as the type that was fitted to NZ-new 260Zs like mine, except that they weren't electric, well not on the early cars like mine anyway. I suspect it's off an imported JDM later model Z seeing as it's motorized, I've seen a couple of ex-JDM cars in NZ with them. Pity it's not a pair.

Ditto, 2+2, very different to 2-seat.

It's subtle, but you can see the difference when you put a blue tint beside a clear (which if anything has a very slight green tinge to it). The original blue screen on my 260 got double bulls-eye stone damaged on the open road (NZ) so I claimed on my insurance as it had free windscreen replacement. The replacement which was installed gratis though wasn't a Nissan screen, but an aftermarket Australian-made screen, & it's clear. The original was too far gone to repair, so I purchased a good used blue screen (in NZ) to install if I ever get around to restoring the car. So I guess my gratis screen was made clear to suit Aus-new cars & was all that was available.

The end of the arm just before it clips into the blade holder has a distinct bend downwards. So there are RH and LH versions. The arm is a flattish metal section, I suppose it could be heated & straightened, then bent the same amount in the other direction, but I suspect heat would ruin the metal finish.

If Specialp3 is correct though then only a 260Z glass will fit his 240. And the 260 was a one-year only model in the USA. But if there was a change in the bolting pattern for whatever reason then I suspect it was done part-way through the 260 & 280Z production years. Toughened glass can't be altered, but maybe the mounting bracket can be? Specialp3, have you touched base with the NZ Datsun Z Club? NZ has a variety of 240/260/280/2+2 Zeds, some sold NZ-new, but many others are used car imports from Australia, the UK, Nth America, Japan, Asia, wherever, often brought in by returning expats. It shouldn't be impossible to find a blue-tint door glass, I could be wrong but my impression when I was a club member there - many years ago now - was that clear glass was less common in club cars than blue-tint. Worth a try, or check out TradeMe.com the NZ equivalent to eBay.

Like stepping back in time.....

Well I just pressed my new rear bearings in using a borrowed press & an old school expert fitter & turner mate of mine told me off when he found out! He believes that the correct way is to heat/cool the respective parts so they more easily install to each other & little pressing force is required. My bad. Your call.

The glass tint, or alternatively just the tint band at top of windscreen, were both available options in lieu of plain clear glass spec at the time my early Mustangs were built. I can't imagine why Aus-new 240Zs would have been generally spec'd with clear glass, for a country with this much sunlight?

I agree that the blue tint looks better. Have you got the blue windscreen as well? Seems lucky you have found NOS blue tint at all when you say it wasn't generally used on Aus-spec 240Zs. Or was it spare stock for 260Z 2-seaters - did the Aus-spec 260Z 2-seaters get blue, like NZ cars did? If so do the 240 & 260 2-seater use the same bolting pattern; I've noticed variations in 2+2 glass on eBay & Gumtree hence my question. If you can just find a good used blue window without deep scratches & have it polished.....

Or use the wire wheels and put a 250 GTO kit on the car to match.....
